Turn passcode off option is grayed out for Apple Watch

Both in my iPhone’s watch app and in the watch itself’s settings, the TURN PASSCODE OFF option is grayed out. Both devices are my personal devices, and i confirmed with my company that they never have any policy that touches employee’s personal devices.

How to turn off the passcode on my Apple Watch? Does anyone know how to turn off the passcode on my Apple Watch? I don’t know what I did or how it happened but every time I go to use my watch it requires me to put in my passcode and honestly it’s really annoying so I stopped wearing it. Apple Watches aren’t cheap so I’d like to use mine again but not with the passcode. like choosing the Turn Off Code isn’t an option on both the ap and the watch itself. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Passcode options grayed out In the Apple Watch app all my passcode options are grayed out. So I cannot set a passcode for the watch. My understanding is that this is caused by an enterprise policy enforced on my iPhone which affects how the watch is secured. The side effect to this is that there is no way to unlock the watch unless I’m wearing it and unless I have my iPhone unlocked. So my question is, what happens if I lose my iPhone, or if it is reset, or broken where it becomes unusable? How will I access my watch then? How would I reset my watch when I get a new iPhone?

If it isn't a company phone then;

Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.

Tap Passcode, then tap Turn Passcode Off.
